Bills of Lading
Generating a bill of lading
Generate a bill of lading directly from a Complete or Shipped order. Go to the order and choose Generate BOL.
You always enter the carrier. Everything else is either prefilled or calculated for you:
- Consignee name and address prefill from the order's linked customer, when there is one. You can still type or edit them for a one-off shipment.
- Pallet count and total weight are calculated automatically from the product's unit weight and units-per-pallet, when those are on file. Otherwise, enter them by hand — any value you type always wins over the calculated one.
- Company logo — include or leave off your organization's logo on the document.
- Special instructions — an optional free-text field printed on the document.
Generating a BOL for a Complete order advances its status to Shipped.
